Window Tint... post pictures

Window tint looks great but it can get you a ticket (check your state laws) and it reduces your visibility (the worst is when they fog up at night). I had 5 or 10% on my windows but I got a costly ticket for it, so I got it removed. I actually was glad I had it removed, I can see much better out of them now, especially at night. Just my 2 cents :cool:
 
i think im pretty solid on the 15%, ill risk it with the cops

Steve, where are you getting your windows tinted?? Black-Out Window Service, just off the intersection of Hwy 100 and Oklahoma Ave, does exceptional work. I had my SRT done in 35% and I loved it! It's all, nice, laser cut stuff. Again, exceptional. Oh yeah, if I recall correctly, you'll get a referral discount if you use my name and pay in cash.:thumb: It's a win-win.
 
planning on 15% or 20% cant make up my mind!!!!

Dude go 30-35%. You'll be pleased with it. I was in your boat. I couldn't decide if I wanted the windows that dark. So, I went with 35%. It was the PERFECT combination between shade during the day and visibility at night:thumb:. Did I mention that I had ZERO trouble with the 5-O???
 
I have the windows tinted in my daily 35% and on sunny days it still hurts the eyes a bit...If I would decide pull the tint off I would get 20% with no questions asked..Still can see decent out the windows...I should have gotten 20% for my son in the back seat...35% is enough to get it nice and warm in the car with the a/c on and it's enough to wake him up when it hits his face....So any new cars I get nothing less than 20% will be installed....

My 99 gsx a few post up #22 has 2.5 percent it it is a PITA to see so you may not want that low of a percent :p
 
finally got them tinted. 15% all the way around. i am very happy with this choice.

this is the only thing i didnt like from the job. i forgot to tell him to lightly sand down that edging so the tint would stick. but he didnt. it looks like this all the way around the hatch. but i can live with it. ill throw one on in october when i get the car a whole new paint job.

16 and driving a 2gb GSX... damn I had my old 95 TSi AWD when I was 17,traded it for my old 91 TSi AWD when I was 18, traded it for my 99 GSX when I was 20 LOL.

I swear dsm'ers keep getting younger and younger LOL
 
My car has like 30 and I don't really like it that much. I'm going 15 as soon as I get paid. I want it so people can't look inside my car. Have a panasonic flip out. And other goodies, don't want people wanting to rob my shit
 
My gst is 20% all around and is perfect for hawaii. Although alittle hard to see sometimes at night, mainly because there isn't many street lambs here. I think its something you just have to get used to and trust you know your car and how much room you got to work with. I'm getting tint for my gvr4 and talon from this place, since I know how to install but hate cutting the tint. Anyone else tried this place before I found the link on this site so mist be good. For the price you can't beat it unless the tint sucks. Precut Auto Window Tint Kit | Window Tinting | Pre Cut Kits
 
I would have gone 15 if they offered it where i went but 18 is fine

5% all the way around even with the brow. I love it and will do my laser the same as soon as it is up and running.

I've got 5% on my 96 eclipse gst and my friend put a flashlight up to it at night and it literally just reflected off of the window and you couldn't see shit inside!! Don't do it that dark, I have to roll down my window at night so I can see clearly enough! btw I bought it like that so it wasn't my choice
